UDA Defends Government on Fuel Crisis, Accuses Opposition of Politicisation
UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar has defended the government’s response to the fuel price crisis, attributing high pump prices to global geopolitical tensions rather than policy failures. Speaking on April 16, 2026, Omar highlighted the deployment of KSh 6.2 billion in stabilisation funds and a VAT reduction, while condemning illegal, off-framework fuel imports as “economic sabotage” involving substandard products and procurement violations.
